cautious_asparagus Posted November 25, 2024 Report Posted November 25, 2024 (edited) Is anyone else getting some strange fog effects? It's white on the surface, appears denser below a certain Y level, and turns completely pitch black when you get far enough underground away from sunlight. It makes it incredibly tedious and annoying to go in caves. I don't have a screenshot of it, but the darkness is insane. It's like torches stop working 10 feet away from me. I'm using mods, but none that affect the weather or world. Edited November 25, 2024 by cautious_asparagus 1
LadyWYT Posted November 25, 2024 Report Posted November 25, 2024 I have it on my test world, though I haven't ventured into the caves as I'm not equipped for it. I kind of assumed it might have been due to the region I picked to play in, that is, a tropical start. But if you're not playing in the tropics here then it's not that. Could be a bug, but I could also see it being a change to make the caves creepier. Can you see anything with a torch/other light source in the cave, or does the fog prevent you from seeing anything? Because if it's the latter, then I would assume a definite bug.
LadyWYT Posted November 25, 2024 Report Posted November 25, 2024 Correcting myself from earlier--it's not a bug, it's an update to how the distance fog works. So the reason all the caves are looking foggy at the moment is due to the fog being rendered in a spherical radius, instead of what I assume was a cylindrical one before.
Thorfinn Posted November 25, 2024 Report Posted November 25, 2024 Haven't yet encountered visibility range of 10 feet (3 blocks) but, yeah, the fog can really restrict vision. Just wait for non-foggy conditions. They still show up. It's just that you are on nature's schedule rather than yours.

I dont think i like the spherical fog system. Or at the very leas they need to up the size of the sphere a lot. I'm in my house and I can barely see 5 meters ahead of me. I usually turn fog off because it gives me a headache, but i cant turn it off with this. At least with the old system i could ignore it for the most part.
